We had a reunion of 5 college friends. We all attended Fort Hays 50 years ago! This location was lovely and unique. I will never forget the fun we had singing and playing guitars together, and exploring the lovely shops downtown. We all loved the house and it was a perfect fit for us. The host quickly responded to all communications.

Buffalo Haus is a hidden gem

The Buffalo Haus is listed as a quaint historic house in the heart of Hays, Kansas. The information in the listing was all accurate, however, could not convey the charm and feel of the property. We were absolutely pleased with all facets of the stay, from the reservation and initial greeting/information packet provided by the host, through check-in, stay, and departure. This is an exemplary property and host situation that should be duplicated by others wanting to be successful. Thank you for making our stay during a family reunion feel yet more special.
